I would like to replace my two joysticks for something that feels a bit better. I personally think the ones I have in there now are crap.
I have been looking around and saw the analog Ultimarc's... This got me thinking, what games would I benefit from by having these? Is there a list of analog joystick games out there?
Ok, now analog aside, I'm wondering what the top three joysticks are and why? Any suggestions would be cool. Thanks!

I haven't used the Ultimarc U360, but it has definitely garnered the reputation as the stick to get around here.
I personally have used the Happ Supers, Competitions, and Perfect 360s, and out of those the Perfect 360s are my favorite. My next favorite would be the Happ Competitions.

I'm certainly not an expert on the matter, but I own both Sanwa and Seimitsu joysticks and they play like a dream. Picking out the "ultimate" joystick is impossible as what you define as a good stick heavily depends on your personal preferences. I know that many people into VS-beatemups and shmups use the aforementioned brands as they play very smoothly (the Sanwas even more so than the Semitsus); also, most of these games were made by the Japanese, and in Japanese arcades the candy cabs either have Sanwa or Seimitsu parts (Sanwas mostly). Arcade authenticity and everything...
As I said before, I love them, but I've never tried out much else, e.g. Happs or whatever.

It depends what type of stick you like. I really like a short throw, so for me the Mag-Stik Plus wins every time.
